Hey all,

I have created a frameset with 5 frames, divided out vertically. So I have 5 columns each at 20%.

My question is: is it possible to change the size of two different frames using javascript?

I would like, for example, to change the first frame to have a width of 5% and the third frame to 35%. The total width is still 100%. I've looked around on google but can't find anything.

So I was hoping one of you guys had an idea.

Thanks,
Matt

Well right now I have a function that is triggered whenever the mouse is clicked in the page that is in the frame.

...
Code: 
<body onClick="myFunction()">


My next question, assuming you can dynamically change the frames size, is to detect its current size. So whenever the frame is clicked it will change size unless its a certain size.

Thanks,
Matt

to manipulate the size of a frameset, you can try something like this:

Code: 
parent.document.getElementById('frameSetId').cols = '150,*';

as long as that code is not in the framset document itself, and the frameset document has a frameset with an id of "frameSetId".

Oh Hallelujah, it worked!

Thank you so much. I've been working on this forever. There is not alot of documentation on the web, or maybe I wasn't using the right search terms.

Either way, you solved my problems.

Thank you very much.

Oh, one last question: How do you get the column size of the current frame.

Thanks,
